The development education and training of the Program Unit on Faith, Witness and Service (FWS) is designed to provide the NCCP constituency as well as its ecumenical partners with the knowledge and skill in development work and peace building.  The education and training activities are categorized into activities for awareness building and skills development.  The activities are geared towards providing partners with the capacity and capability for advocacy work in peace, human rights, ecology, migrant concerns and development work.

Participants in education activities have discussions on people’s issues and also trainings for acquiring skills and knowledge for organizational strengthening and advocacy work.  The education and training activities are categorized into activities for awareness building, skills development and other courses.

Development Advocacy and Campaign

Direct Services

The direct service component of FWS is basically aimed at providing emergency assistance to disaster-stricken families and communities, assistance to small community-based projects, and in providing solidarity support (financial, material, technical assistance) to workers on strike, displaced urban and rural poor, families of victims of human rights violations, etc..  Small community-based projects are closely monitored and regularly evaluated.

Through advocacy and campaign, the FWS has been propagating the peace and human rights ministry of the NCCP.  As in the past, the FWS has responded to various people’s issues and concerns in partnership with member churches, people’s organizations, inter-faith and multi-sectoral networks in the national, regional and local level.  Moreover, it continuously assists in mobilizing church people and other sectors in strengthening organized and newly-formed advocacy groups.
